Apple Final Cut Express HD - Manual (Page 286)

286 Part VI Rough Editing
To avoid accidentally selecting the first frame of the next clip, do one of
the following:
m Press the Back Arrow key once before setting the Out point, so that you set it on the
last frame of the clip you want to select. When you do this, the last frame of that clip is
included with the Out point.
m Make the Canvas active, then choose View > Show Overlays. Make sure you set an Out
point when you see the overlay that indicates the end of the clip, not the start of the
next clip.
m Use the Mark > Mark Clip feature (described in “ Setting In and Out Points to Match a
Clip or Gap ” on page 297) to place In and Out points directly on the first and last
frames of the clip.
Setting Clip In and Out Points in the Viewer
When you set In and Out points for a clip in the Viewer, only the frames from the In
point to the Out point will be edited into your sequence. If you haven’t explicitly set
an In or Out point, Final Cut Express HD uses the Media Start and the Media End
points, respectively.
The Out point ends at
the last frame of the clip.
